Welcome to my Website
I am a political scientist with a doctoral degree in agricultural science (subject: political economy). 
Currently I am working as researcher (Postdoc) at Kiel University’s Insitute for Agricultural Economics.
In my research, I analyze political communication, voting behavior, and stakeholder influence in agricultural and sustainability policy. My methodological toolbox contains computational methods and econometric methods as well as relational analysis.
